    I really can't decide on the purple - initially I really didn't like it, now I'm 50/50...

    also not a fan of purple, but holding out hope for future coffee and cream.

    my caps are apparently at the post depot just down the road, so hopefully they'll arrive tomorrow :D

    I'd really like a mundane white on red set of mods. Or even white on green.

    They tried to deliver mine today so I'll go & pick them up tomorrow. I also have a customs charge to pay on another item (not Ivan's GB) of £11.26 (which is really £3.26 + £8 handling fee :wallbash:)

    If someone on here does do a GMK order, let me know first as I may need the esc pack.

    Have you guys seen this, I like the idea of it, but as with most of these sets I am not sure I would want it on a daily board. Pretty soon I will be making an order from KeyPop, I have a free shipping voucher so if anyone wants in it should be a decent price. I am just a bit worried about customs if the order is big :/

    There were lots of choices to vote on while it was in interest check. Purple was most popular so I ran with it. I just hope all those people that voted for it weren't trolling or we are in big trouble. It looks great in real life I assure you. It's a nice deep shade, not really girly.

    A friend of mine loves his purple, so I will ask him if he is up for it :) Not sure though as he will have just bought tons of keyboard stuff.

    I really like the look of the CMYK stuff, but not really sure what I would do with it. Like I said before CYMK arrows would be awesome though :)

    George is that our techkeys order? Do you need any extra ££ from me for customs?

    Don't think it's that either... I'll find out tomorrow! £3 customs would only be a ~£15 order (even though I didn't think they bothered collecting for that little) and our techkeys order was more than that...

    I have white on red mods :D RA2.0

    I will do my gmk order on sunday as I have just been booked to work all weekend (joy be me) - so if you want you esc packs or whatever let me know and I will stick you on my order.

    (i LOVE the purple :D and I love all the different options, ie. for iso AND ansi AND non standard boards)

    This. Also I like the that the raindrop GB has the usual non standard alt modifiers included in the base pack (like the pure's short shift).

    I wish more GB's were like this, so you only have to buy a single option not 2.

    I'll let you know tomorrow or Sunday morning :thumb: Leaning towards just an esc pack atm as a small section of our fence is falling down and needs sorting tomorrow (hopefully not too much £££)

    They waive duty if it's under £9, but they don't waive VAT which you have to pay on goods ≥ £15 or gifts of ≥ £36. At £3.26 you're looking at a value of about £16.25 if that helps narrow it down...

    It's odd, I really can't think of anything that is that sort of money... Most things I've got arriving are worth more!

    Edit: An £11 fee on a £16 item is a right b***h though isn't it!

    Maybe techkeys marked the value as 20 something dollars? Or maybe you have a random surprise from someone...

    The charge is outrageous, fair enough paying VAT but RM charging £8 is obscene!

    I know, I think I'll double up on the CYMK (to four sets) but purple really isn't me, nor are different esc's though I'm up for a set of each just to support...

    Pure... G80-3000... GH60... Phantom... ErgoDox... five sets? No, CMYK won't fit comfertably on the ErgoDox, four sets it is.

    Why hasn't the toxic set been put up for the first GMK GB?
